I have been leaving bikes on my car at least a couple days a week for the past 20 years. I have had people hit the racks (more times on the road than parked), but the bikes have been fine. Sometimes the bike just stays on my car all week, if the only days I'm not going to the trail I ride the motorcycle to work. If there is a 50/50 chance of rain that will close the trails, I take the bike just in case the weather is good. I don't want to risk the chance of not getting a ride in. These folks who are scared of bikes getting wet amuse me, it is a tool meant to be used,
